body events determined
All activities and events that a body is to go through are determined at the time of conception.
past yesterday tomorrow
There is neither past nor future. There is only the present. Yesterday was the present to you when you experienced it, and tomorrow will be also the present when you experience it. Therefore, experience takes place only in the present, and beyond experience nothing exists.
attitude practice strange
One should remain as a witness to whatever happens, adopting the attitude, 'Let whatever strange things that happens happen, let us see!' This should be one's practice. Nothing happens by accident in the divine scheme of things.
thinking hands giving
...the Lord of the Universe carries the entire burden of this world. You imagine you do. You can hand all your burdens over to His care. Whatever you have to do, you will be made an instrument for doing it at the right time. Do not think you cannot do it unless you have the desire to do it. Desire does not give you the strength for doing. The entire strength is the Lord's.
men dwelling shining
By happy fraternity amongst themselves, the embodied beings get the supreme peace. Then all this earth shines like one house. When the men, the embodied beings treat each other with equal respect and have good brotherly feelings amongst themselves, great peace and harmony abound. Then all this earth shines like one house. The whole world shines like the one dwelling house of the entire human family.
life self realization
Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world
care trouble should
Why should you trouble yourself about the future? You do not even properly know about the present. Take care of the present, the future will take care of itself.
mean light giving
Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world. The Sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone. Because it shines, the whole world is full of light. Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
peaceful mind world
If one's mind has peace, the whole world will appear peaceful.
feelings mind spirit
Your true nature is that of infinite spirit. The feeling of limitation is the work of the mind.
fear men ideas
If a man considers that he is born, he cannot avoid the fear of death. Let him find out if he has been born or if the Self has any birth. He will discover that the Self always exists, that the body that is born resolves itself into thought and that the emergence of thought is the root of all mischief. Find from where thoughts emerge. Then you will be able to abide in the ever-present inmost Self and be free from the idea of birth or the fear of death.
self silence bliss
Silence is truth. Silence is bliss. Silence is peace. And hence Silence is the Self.
desire contentment mindfulness
Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.
ideas dying body
The State of liberated Being can be reached only by "dying"; but (this) dying does not consist in destruction of the body; one should understand that true death is the extinction of the ideas "I" and "mine."
